Black Horse Sputnik ARTF
HAWKER Hurricane ARTF
The latest sports
aerobatic model
from Black
Horse is
designed
for use with
either IC or
electric power
from the start
and both
types of power
source are
accommodated in
the kit.
Being laser cut
from selected balsa and ply parts, the
Sputnik is exceptionally light and strong.
That light weight and generous side area
make a fully aerobatic sports model that can
deliver stunning performance in any attitude.
A tough aluminium undercarriage soaks up the
roughness of grass field operation and the forgiving
flight nature ensures that she can be operated from
most club patches.
Add a stunning colour scheme in durable
Oracover and it is easy to see why many club fields
will see the Sputnik during the coming season.

The Hawker Hurricane is probably the most underrated aircraft of WWII. In the
Battle of Britain, the Hurricane accounted for more German aircraft shot down
than any other, and by some considerable margin. The solid flying performance
and concentrated .303 browning machine guns made her deadly. Pilots loved her
because she would take immense damage and still get home; a true workhorse.
many still survive in flying condition to this day.
Black Horse have developed their version of the Hurricane with
all this heritage very much in mind. Great care has gone into
replicating a faithful shape and adding as many scale details as
possible. The result is a beautiful model that has extremely
forgiving flight performance and
is easy to take off and land.
Much like the original really!!
Like all Black Horse Models, the detailed CAD design is translated into an airframe
using Laser cut balsa and ply parts and then hand assembled by skilled workers in
the factory. Several key parts like the cowl are moulded in GRP and other details in
vacuum-formed ABS plastic. That ‘stringer’ rear fuselage is there and adds a lot to
the scale realism. Wherever possible, the scale shape has been faithfully followed.
The printed vinyl covering has been colour matched as closely as possible to the
true 1940 colours and the painting of the cowl etc. sprayed in the same manner.
Flaps are standard, as are the full set of aluminium air retracts with sprung oleo
legs that are included.
